X.25 Network Properties

Network

Determines various network-specific X.25 operating characteristics. Specify the network or network type over which this system will communicate.

Diagnostic packets

Determines how to handle diagnostic packets:

·   Allow received diagnostic packets means accept incoming diagnostic packets. This is the default.

·   Discard if received on a non-zero logical channel means that diagnostics packets that arrive on a logical channel other than zero are discarded.

·   Send diagnostic packets means that this system is allowed to send diagnostic packets.

Diagnostic byte

Determines whether to include a diagnostic byte in clear, restart, and reset packets. Some networks allow this byte and others do not.

Throughput class negotiation

Determines the type of throughput class negotiation to perform:

·   Use X.25 procedures means negotiate according to the procedures defined in the X.25 specification, that is, toward the lower of either the requested value or the default value.

·   Negotiate toward defaults means negotiate toward the value closest to the default. This setting is typically used when connecting to a TELENET network.
